PURPOSE: To obtain a light wheel for vehicle excellent in strength and formability and suitable for coating, by welding a rim made by forming a precipitation hardening type hot roller high tension steel sheet and a disk made by forming a composite structure type hot rolled high tension steel sheet.
CONSTITUTION: For raw sheet of the rim 1 of a wheel for vehicle, a precipitation hardening type hot rolled high tension steel sheet ≤3.0mm in thickness, ≤50kg/mm2 in tensile strength heighten in strength by precipitation hardening and refining the grain size of crystals by hot rolling a steel ingot or continuous casting slab to which a total of 0.01W0.10wt% of niobium, titanium and vanadium are added as reinforcing element to precipitate carbides and nitrides of above-mentioned elements in the matrix of ferrite and finely dispersing these precipitates is used. For raw material of the disk 2, a composite structure type hot rolled high tension steel plate ≤3.5mm in thickness, ≤75% in yield ratio (yield strength/tensile strength), ≥50kg/mm2 in tensile strength in which the second phase of martensite, bainite or residual austenite structure is mixed in ferrite structure of the first phase is used.
